How the hell is an arsonist supposed to win in this setup? Outlive town, scum, AND a poisoner?

My pm tells me I have the ability to douse up to two targets (no more) and the ability to ignite as distinct actions. It takes two nights to kill a single person, and three to kill two. It also tells me I have a single shot of poison immunity.

Either this is a balancing mechanic for arsonist v. poisoner, or something else I don't understand. I came into this game believing victory was impossible without a clear and decisive power grab right up front. I went for it, failing to convince mush means I've failed.

I confess. I'm an arsonist. But what I really want - what seems possible to me, is to outlive the poisoner. To flip my hair and dance and say "arsonist sucks" on the way out.

So. The most damage I can possibly do is two at a time, one of whom might even be scum. But I made two big mistakes (they should be quite obvious now) that have put me in a rather curious position.

N1 I doused redneck nazgul (as he so helpfully did indeed state and as accused did indeed gently caress up), N2 I tried to ignite him and failed.

At the moment - as you can all confirm for yourselves (or lie about<3!) no one is doused.

Therefore: why do scum (and my arch-nemesis) the favor of lynching me? Now that I've confessed, I humbly submit that to do so would be anti-town.

My game's over, arsonist sucks, I lose. I admit it. But I also can't kill anybody.

There's a poisoner, me, and scum out there. Let me be clear: RN revealed that I doused him. He is not dead, as I clearly anticipated. RF, however, is. There's no reason to lynch me today. Indeed, there's no reason to lynch me

Make them do it. I promise not to douse anyone else unless so instructed.

tldr - I'm an arsonist, but I lose. Don't waste a lynch on me.

you couldn't decide whether you wanted to believe pera or not, switching from "they're lying so we should lynch them" to "they're saying the truth and I hate this so we should lynch them" to "they're 3p so we should lynch them."

idk why you're suddenly getting sassy at me, it's not like I was the only one who thinks you're scummy.

Let's assume Pera is being fully truthful here. If Pera is the Arsonist and has one shot of poison immunity, would it not make logical sense for the Poisoner to have one shot of fire immunity?

The alternate possibility is that we have a Doctor who targeted RN. However, I don't think they should claim at this time.

Belay that last a moment. It's more likely to be a scum RB on Pera, as otherwise two NKs were prevented. I also can't see the NK being used on RN, as scum could just let him die.

Yeah, I'd buy that, but we can't exactly do anything about it until we know if pera is lying or not.
